I would say if their proofer is a "dot" proofer such as a Kodak
Approval or Fuji FinalProof, that would be a reasonable strategy.
However, if their proofer is an inkjet printer and that would be what
you're profiling, I think that strategy would be dangerous. Profiling
an already profiled/color-managed printer like that, especially if
it's not very well-behaved, can lead to, how shall I say?...non-
linearities in the resulting profile. I would be concerned about
smoothness and such in the resulting separations after having gone
through this conversion.
On the other hand, it sounds like this is about your're only option.
Personally, I would still try to dig a bit deeper and see if you can
discover what source profile they might be using. I can't imagine
they're proofing these jobs to an un-color managed inkjet device.

profile from the proof. Then, create a device link profile using the
profile created from their proof as the source and the
GraCoL2006_Coated1v2 as the destination. Then output their files to
our GraCoL 7 proof, we should be able to match it on press.
Does this sound reasonable? Anything I should watch out for?
